TORONTO – Con il loro impegno, e soprattutto con la loro italianità, hanno cambiato il panorama economico dell’Ontario e portato le loro attività al successo, contribuendo alla crescita della comunità tricolore in Canada sia in termini di immagine che in termini di prestigio sociale e culturale: sono gli imprenditori e le personalità italo-canadesi che mercoledì sera, nel corso di una serata di gala svoltasi nell’elegante Liberty Grand Entartainment Complex in riva all’Ontario Lake, hanno ricevuto dalla Camera di Commercio gli ICCO Air Canada Business Excellence Awards, giunti quest’anno alla ventesima edizione… Read More in Corriere Canadese >>>
La scatola di Marlboro di colore “verde” – cioè, delle sigarette al mentolo – non è molto familiare in Italia, dove tra l’altro è stata messa al bando un paio d’anni fa, nel 2020, con l’entrata in vigore di una direttiva europea che vieta la diffusione di prodotti del tabacco contenenti aromi come mentolo, vaniglia, cannella et al. Non è che facessero più male le sigarette aromatizzate – tutte le sigarette fanno male – ma i gusti “di fantasia” potevano renderle, secondo Bruxelles, più “invitanti”, incentivandone il consumo… Read More in Corriere Canadese >>>

Noon Marso 2020 nang binigkas ang pandemia nang “World Health Organization” ang tao ay nag bago nang kaugalian sa kanilang pagagailagan. Ang pag pupunta sa maga restauran, pag babakasion sa maga magagandang lugar, panunood nang maga pelikula sa malalaking sinehan ay na hinto. Na iba ang pinupuntahan nang kanilang kinikita sa pag trabaho sa bahay sa panibagon landas sa pag kumpuni nang kanilang bahay, sa pag gawa nang kanilang opisina sa bahay.
In March 2020, the World Health Organization declared the pandemic caused by Covid 19, forcing people to change their priorities. Trips to the restaurants, vacations to exotic places, watching movies in the big screen took a back seat. They redirected their money and whatever else they earned working from home to renovating their dwellings to double as an office and classroom, purchasing newer laptops and newer models of mobiles, putting new printers in their bedrooms to make for more efficient work output at home, getting gym equipment for fitness because gyms were closed, and furnishing their kitchens with mixers, blenders and juice extractors to make their lives livable during a pandemic. They alternated their meals from being prepared in their kitchen to ordering from restaurants, delivered by any one of the following: Uber Eats, Grab, Skip the Dishes, Foodora, Door Dash, to name a few. Lifestyles changed.
Russia’s invasion of Ukraine has forced nearly two million people out of Ukraine, according to the UN Refugee Agency. Frightened and uncertain about their future, they cross over borders into neighbouring countries to escape the bombings and bloodshed.
Meanwhile, a different type of exodus occurs in Russia. Many companies and investors have decided to cut back, or suspend, their activities in Russia. Others have chosen to leave altogether, which could have a lasting impact on the country’s economy.

Investments in infrastructure are crucial to a strong economic recovery for Ontario and Canada as a whole, especially in the wake of Covid-19. Such investments have the ability to create jobs, get people back to work and build a stronger workforce.
TORONTO – Tradizionalmente, per anni i media hanno fatto affidamento sulla pubblicità come principale fonte di finanziamento. Si sono sempre più spostati verso modelli di sussidi governativi attraverso i quali i finanziamenti federali sono diventati essenziali per la loro sopravvivenza.

The world of communications is constantly evolving. Over 3.6 billion people worldwide use social media to stay connected, to share content and to stay informed.
Digital platforms play a major role as they are the pathways through which people access their news and information, (see graph 1). The symbiotic relationship between news publishers and digital platforms should be beneficial to both parties. But, this is not always the case. Especially, in a world where the pandemic seems to have accelerated the digital transformation in society.
TORONTO – Nel corso degli anni, è diventato più facile per le persone creare e condividere contenuti online. Il 2 febbraio, il governo federale ha introdotto l’Online Streaming Act (OSA), Bill C-11. La proposta di legge mira a modernizzare il Broadcasting Act che è cambiato poco dal 1991, prima che l’Internet diventasse più accessibile alle persone in tutto il mondo. Questo disegno di legge potrebbe essere considerato da altri come un “riavvio” del controverso disegno di legge sul broadcasting, C-10, che è stato presentato lo scorso anno, ma non è riuscito a passare al Senato prima delle elezioni federali del 2021… Read More in Corriere Canadese >>>

TORONTO — Today, the Ontario government announced the ten members of the Premier’s Council on U.S. Trade and Industry Competitiveness. “The creation of this council comes at a critical time for the Ontario economy as certain players in the U.S. bang the drum of protectionism,” said Premier Doug Ford.
In another round of modified lockdowns and restrictions, the Ontario government introduces a new $10,000 grant for small businesses impacted by Omicron. The news provides little comfort to small business affected by this latest round of closures – the fourth time in the last two years.
The fast-moving omicron variant is fueling a surge of new infections. Not exactly the ‘positive’ start many were hoping for at the beginning of a new year. In just one week, the 7-day rolling average of new infections in Ontario jumped from 8,318 new cases up to 14,435 (January 4). (more…)
Black Friday sales aside, now Cyber Monday deals entice customers to spend as the holidays draw near. However, small businesses are still reeling from the impacts of Covid-19 and the ongoing labour shortages combined with supply chain disruptions present further challenges in trying to build back lost revenue over the past 19 months.
According to the Canadian Federation of Independent Business (CFIB), about 61% of small businesses have yet to meet their pre-pandemic revenues. Another 22% say they will not make it passed another six months at the current level of revenue loss. Time may be running out.
Mitt Romney, multimilionario, candidato presidenziale repubblicano nel 2012 e attuale senatore dell’Utah, non è stato entusiasta della proposta democratica di aumentare le tasse ai miliardari.

Cities are the engines of economic growth. In a modern society, technology plays a key role in making cities function better, faster and smarter. Tools like network connections, computers, sensors and cameras, can help communities use integrated data to make wiser decisions. A digitally “Smart City” is a benefit to its residents, but an “intelligent community” is one that uses information and technology to drive prosperity, tackle social and economic issues and helps enrich the lives of its inhabitants.
This year, the Intelligent Community Forum (ICF) named Mississauga as one of the Top7 Intelligent Communities in the world. (more…)
Thanks to improvements in key health indicators, Ontario will move into Step 3 of the province’s reopening plan on Friday. That means the easing of Covid-19 restrictions for several public health and workplace measures including capacity limits for indoor/outdoor settings. It also opens opportunity for more Ontarians to return to work.
Improving public health indicators and increasing rates of vaccination mean Ontario is ready to ease more restrictions. It also means more people are able to return to work and head back to the office. But, could there be change in store for the standard 5-day work week? (more…)
The impacts of Covid-19 may have prompted a “she-cession” for women around the world. This could negatively impact the gains towards women’s economic empowerment and affect Canada’s ranking at #12 in the Female Opportunity Index 2021.

Nang bumisita ang aking ina sa Toronto nung dekadang setenta, ito ang binigay niyang impresyon sa siyudad: napakalamig at maraming puno. Datapwat pumanaw na siya, aking naaalala siya ngayong sumusulat ako tungkol sa mga punongkahoy. Ipinanganak at lumaki ako sa lungsod ng Manila na konti lang ang mga puno. meron meron naman isang matandang Acacia na malapit sa amin na ginagamit na tagpuan o palatandaan ng mga tao. (more…)
When my mother returned to Manila from her visit to Toronto in the early 70s, she was asked of her impressions about the city, to which she gave the following observations: it is too cold and the city is a forest. My mom is gone now yet I think of her as I write this piece. Like her, I’m an urbanite. Born and raised in Manila where trees were a rarity when I was living there, I can only remember one big tree near our place – an Acacia tree. It was so old that people used it as a landmark when giving directions. (more…)
